As the market moves to a wider range of seniors living solutions, one building form can house several different models with respect to care, tenure, financial models, services, risk and market response. It intensifies the need to start with an organisational view on market and strategy rather than on bricks and mortar. GBD’s research can help navigate uncharted waters as we firmly believe there are new models of retirement accommodation yet to emerge (or be adopted) with significant opportunities for both new and existing participants to successfully grow their market share and offering.
We can assist with:
Market research and development of new and existing models of accommodation, both with respect to built form and the
packaging of the operations and services within the built form.
Brief development drawn from a strong research base into a workable brief with other key consultants including project
managers, architects, builders and selling agents.
Supply/demand analysis GBD can undertake discreet reviews of catchment areas with respect to both existing and pipeline developments across the full range of product types. This pipeline supply can be reviewed against typical market penetration rates to determine sale rates for financial modelling, and assist in finance.
Financial analysis business case development based on cashflow projections, project return expectations, sensitivity analyses, options review and resultant net present value calculations to assist in the governance and finance approval for developments.

For many operators the conundrum can be the development of a coherent plan and strategy for existing sites, often with ageing infrastructure, a variety of tenure types and a potted history of previous projects. GBD is skilled at reviewing organisational and resident needs in developing a range of site options which safeguard existing stakeholder issues whilst still planning for the future.

GBD has developed detailed demographic and marketing capability that can be deployed to review key geographic precincts and determine locations to target for acquisitions that can best guarantee expansion success. The ‘build it and they will come’ approach has failed time and again in this sector prompting the need for detailed and clear analysis on site search, selection and due diligence.

Any project comes with risk. Sometimes the biggest risk for an organisation is doing nothing. GBD can assist with a comprehensive risk identification process during feasibility stage that can be documented and monitored during the project duration to give a strong governance framework.

Value Management is an essential, critical planning and review process which is distinctively different because of its structured approach and analytical focus to achieve best value or, where appropriate, best value for money. Using this strategic tool we can work with you to ensure the organisation delivers great value to both shareholders and customers alike.
